The closest to kernel developmentr is kernel-package in debian
It's needed to compile kernel as stated here.http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm
so my bad it wasn't linux-kbuild, although it is a dependency for linux-headers.

you are showing linux-headers-common is the linux-headers opackage installed?
Also suggested was kern-devel which in debian would be kernel-package.

Synaptic
Kernel-package:
This package provides the capability to create a Debian kernel image
package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source
directory tree. It can also package the relevant kernel headers into
a kernel-headers package. In general, this package is very useful if
you need to create a custom kernel, if, for example, the default
kernel does not support some of your hardware, or you wish a leaner,
meaner kernel. It also scripts the steps that need be taken to
compile the kernel, which is quite convenient (forgetting a crucial
step once was the initial motivation for this package). Please look at
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Rationale.gz for a full list of advantages
of this package.

Well,

Finaly I got it work.

I did that:

Quote:

Install required packages build-essential and linux-headers:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Download the latest VMware player e.g. VMware-Player-3.1.4-385536.i386.bundle (download the bundle version, not the rpm one) and run it as root using gksudo. You'll get a graphical installer that installs VMware player for you.

gksudo bash ./Downloads/VMware-Player-3.1.4-385536.i386.bundle

Problem that I have now is when restart computer, VMware is not wworking again....

What sort of symptoms are you seeing? .. is it failing to compile the modules still ?
